After School Activities
There are a wide range of activities for children to participate in after schools throughout the year. The following list is not exhaustive but illusrates the type of offering available to children. This list is based on activities provided throughout the schiool year 2024-2025 but it is worth noting that such activities are subject to change. Some of these activities are provided by the school free of charge. We are very grateful to the members of staff who give freely of their time and energies. We are also grateful to the Board of Management who fund a number of other after school activities. We remind the children that they should not take such opportunities for granted.
Some others are provided for a nominal fee whilst 3rd parties also use our grounds and buildings for a variety of activities. Parents and guardians should get in touch with the contact outlined below for further details.
